Rat mediodorsal thalamic subdivisions differentially modulate the sensory and affective components of pain through distinct prefrontal pathways.

This study identifies distinct thalamocortical pathways from MD subdivisions that differentially modulate sensory and affective pain components through prefrontal circuits.

Sex-dependent neuronal loss and apoptosis-associated signaling in the anterior cingulate and anterior insular cortices in a late-stage MIA mouse model of osteoarthritis.

This study examines sex-dependent neuronal loss and apoptosis in the ACC and AIC in a late-stage MIA OA mouse model, showing greater vulnerability in females.

Dopamine desynchronizes the retinal clock through a melanopsin-dependent regulation of acetylcholine retinal waves during development

Neurons expressing pathological Tau protein trigger dramatic noninflammatory changes in microglial morphology and dynamics

This study shows that microglia in zebrafish tauopathy models become more mobile and change morphology, and their ablation increases Tau hyperphosphorylation.

Effects of single cage housing on stress, cognitive and seizure parameters in the rat and mouse pilocarpine models of epilepsy

This study examines the effects of individual housing on stress, cognitive, and seizure parameters in rat and mouse epilepsy models, finding increased stress and seizures in singly housed animals.
